The Three Phases of Fatherhood

On The Father Show, Dr. Gene Munson came on the show to give us the three phases of fatherhood. He describes the 5 men in his life that help him into manhood. As one of the men that help shape him was a police sergeant taught him about making good choices, decision making, make a difference and to stop talking and start doing. Dr. Munson gives us the three phases of fatherhood, which are observer, participant, and adviser. He tells us just how much we are observers and the children learn as observers. How fatherhood is a role model. He teaches us that if you are a father, you are a leader and you need to not take that responsibility lightly. He tells us how a fatherless child can learn about fatherhood by going to the library and reading biographies on other men and how they lived. He enlightens us on how Greatness walks around us every day if we stop and observe. He tells us as fathers we should be paying it forward to the kids we have and come in contact with. He also tells us that men are generally protectors and providers. Men have learned to communicate more but we still have a growing to do. Fathers need to know that all three of these phases apply to little boys and girls. That fathers need to be prepared for questions that your child might ask. He also lets us know that a man being a leader does not mean he has to be the bread winner in the household.
